Customer Reviews
We bought our Decathlon with an ugly grey cover. Since our daughter is going to be using this for so long, I figure until she’s 6 because she’s tall & skinny, I decided to get a new cover for it. It’s so cute, and it was super easy to put on!

Customer Reviews
I just read the previous review and I can’t say that I agree at all!

I love this carseat and base. It is not hard at all to remove from the base. I’ve not had any issues whatsoever; you push on the lever and it’s out. I’m not the world’s strongest woman by any stretch of the imagination and it’s fairly easy for me.

I also have the Britax Preview stroller and have to disagree with the previous reviewer on this as well. The carseat fits perfectly on the stroller. I did have to read the instructions to figure out exactly how to place it on there but otherwise, it fits perfectly. It combines as a travel system and I LOVE it! There was no issue for me here either!

I highly recommend this carseat & base! It really is plush and I shall not delve into the safety…..100% recommend!

Customer Reviews
We borrowed this seat from a friend for our 2nd baby. It was okay, but not the kind of quality and ease of use I have come to expect from Britax. As many reviewers have mentioned, it’s *heavy.* I realize this is a trade-off. If you want a seat the holds a bigger baby and is strong and safe, it’s going to be heavy. The TSIP head cushions are a nice safety feature, but they are also super-hot in the summer. My little girl was always a sweaty mess. The handle can be stiff. The canopy is not great. It was stiff and difficult to adjust. The fabric feels plasticy and did not hold up well. It has piping going across the canopy in several places to help it keep it’s shape. After a while, the fabric covering the piping started fraying and wearing off. The canopy also got several white streaks on it, and I have no idea what from – maybe from rubbing on door jambs? As for the extended weight limits, we found them unnecessary. By the time our kids stopped sleeping in the car all the time (around 6 months), we moved them up into a convertible seat. No one wants to carry a 30lb baby around in a pumpkin seat!!

On the plus side, I did like the safety of the TSIP cushions. The seat is deep, and definitely more cushy and comfy than other baby buckets. It has a higher weight limit that the standard 22lb seat, so you should get a few more months of use out of it. Overall, I was glad we borrowed it instead of buying it. We have a Roundabout and a Regent, and we *LOVE* them. This seat just isn’t up to Britax’s usual standards. We certainly weren’t going to buy this seat for ourselves when our third baby came along! I think there are other seats out there that are just as safe, easier to use, and less expensive.

I have a very tall 20 month old. I have a Britax Marathon that I love. I needed a second car seat but saw how quickly my son is growing. This seat is great and my son is more comfortable. The seat is much heavier but worth it. The seat cover is easy to wash and replace.

Customer Reviews
I have had this stroller from my baby’s birth. She is now 22 months and I use it weekly.

Pros: Love this stroller! It’s modern & fun looking. It is not cumbersome like the regular strollers out there. I used this from birth, so I would snap the infant car seat on the stroller – this was a breeze. I converted it to a regular stroller facing out at 7 or 8 months. This was very easy to do. I love the big wheels. I had a jogger stroller which I never used and ended up giving away because this one does the job of both! I did a 5K run on an asphalt trail with my daughter without a problem. I forgot to empty the basket underneat, and it still went very smoothly. I don’t know if I would use this for daily or weekly runs, but I don’t see why not – the roller wheels are very sturdy. To pump them, you can use a regular bike pump. I’ve only had to do that once in 22 months. I can turn the stroller a full 180 degrees with just one hand and one motion. It is extremely adaptable to any surface. The basket underneath has handled groceries, including many heavy items (fruit juice, milk, etc). I use stroller clips to hang grocery bags off the handle – this holds easily. Another good feature is that there are many tilting options because it doesn’t have “fixed” recline settings. The recliner works like a brake, you move it to where you want and then “brake” it. This allows you to recline it to pretty much *any* angle you want!

Cons: Like other reviewers, I wish there was a cupholder, but mostly I wish it had a tray for the baby. I bought an aftermarket of both, but they are soft and keep tilting. So I use the cupholder for keys and garage door opener, and the soft tray only has pockets, no actual flat surface that I can put some cheerios or cheese for the baby. The other complaint I have is that the sunshade (like almost EVERY stroller out there) is completely inadequate. I use a receiving blanket to throw over the top of the stroller and I use to clips I have for kitchen bags to clip it to the side metal frame of the stroller. This works perfectly but it’s not very “pretty”. I also wish there was more cushioning around the head area. When my baby falls asleep, I have to go to work padding up the sides of her head. Finally, my biggest complaint is the size & weight of this stroller. It weighs 25+ lbs and is not a stroller for a quick in & out of the car. It also takes up my entire truck space (with 2 small SUV’s, it’s been the same problem). So I finally took it out, left it at home, and bought a Maclaren Volo for quick outings. The nice stroller stays in our garage and comes out for the Saturday morning 3-hour walks! One more complaint that I only noticed this past week-end: the straps are not designed to hold tall toddlers! I always leave it on the loosest settings, and this week-end I noticed that with a winter jacket on, it was very snug on my daughter.

All in all, I really do like this stroller. If I had not received this as my baby shower gift (from colleagues!), I may have bought the BabyTrend one that is a jogger stroller, but more comfortable than a regular jogger stroller, and also allows you to snap on infant car seats.

Still, it’s a great stroller and one that will serve for years.

Customer Reviews
I like this seat, BUT if you don’t have the latch system it is a pain to install. I do have the latch system in my car, so this seat is perfect for me at this point and quite frankly I don’t think there is a better quality booster on the market. It is very study, plenty of padding, compact, adjustable and still fits the much bigger kids. (Up to 100 lbs.) This product is basically a better version of the Regent. (Soon this car seat will replace the bulky Regent altogether.)

Cons….

On the flip side, YES without the latch system it is very difficult to install and it takes much more work. With the latch system I can install this car seat in any car within 2-3 minutes and it is tight to they yank…meaning it won’t budge and centimeter when I pull on the side of it. However, when I try to install this seat with a seat belt it is a royal hassle taking upwards of 20-30 minutes to get it somewhat snug. I completely understand why some people just give up on it and take it back. Quite frankly, I don’t know why Britax didn’t stick with the seat belt locking mechanisms that they have on the Roundabout and the Marathons. It made it so easy to use a seat belt to secure the car seat snugly in place.

NOTE: The KEY to installing this seat with the latch system is to use the holes in the front of the seat to pull the latch straps through and yank the latch straps snug while you are kneeling in the center of the seat. If you don’t do this, you will NEVER get it secure.

Problem #2 I am also concerned about this car seat because because the user manual says you can’t use the latch system for children over 45 lbs. For children over 45 lbs, the seat belt is required for installing the car seat. Basically that means the seat will become a pain in my butt unless I decide to install a lap belt into the car which can be used to secure the car seat instead of the shoulder belt.

Problem #3 If you child ever vomits or poops or spills in the seat (which they ALL do at some point) Britax recommends you wipe the seat clean, but don’t wash it. All parents get vomit in a car seat at some point, and we all know wiping clean is NOT AN OPTION. For this purpose I disassembled the seat and washed the cover in the washer with cold water and regular laundry detergent. I then hung it to dry and it came out clean and looked fine. However, putting it back together is much more of a challenge than any other Britax seats. (note: the Roundabout takes me about 3 minutes to put back together and this one about 20)

Other than those three complaints, this is a really safe seat. I can’t think of a better seat for bigger kids. It even worked for my neighbor who is 100 lbs and 50 years old. :) We just had to see if she would fit and she did!

Customer Reviews
I searched forever for a good seat for our daughter. I came to this one through reveiews, and I am so glad I got it. It is so easy to put in and switch from our two cars and it fits in my husbands Civic, which I was very glad it did. It is so soft and our daughter loves it. She know can see out the window at what’s going on around her. And unlike her baby car seat this one does not move when it is strapped in, which makes me feel SO safe. I don’t know how I lived without it. And knowing how well it did with front and side impact ratings is a MAJOR plus. Very glad we have it.
